Is there somewhere else where immigration is much easier than the United States? As a data point, I applied for Permanent Residency as part of the Australian Independent Immigration program in 2000. The processing took about 8 months, then I was granted a permanent visa, then I moved to Australia in 2001 and became a citizen after two years (this has been since changed to four years and the application processing times also may vary, from what I know - 2001 was one of the "good" years).
